Flint River Watershed Coalition launches kayaking trips on the river

Summer’s here and it time to get out the kayak (or borrow one) and get ready to paddle on the Flint River.

The Flint River Watershed Coalition is holding guided kayaking trips along various stretches of the Flint River in both Genesee and Lapeer Counties several times a month June through October. Here’s the schedule:

Most trips are suitable for all experience levels and ages 10 and up; younger children can participate on some trips if riding with an adult. Limited space and kayak rentals available, pre-registration is required and should include participant’s name, phone number, email, number of people attending, ages if under 15, and if any rentals are needed.

Participants should allow for time between arrival and launch for registration and shuttling. Trips are only $10 per person for participants with their own kayak or canoe and $15 for rentals. Cost includes experienced guides, shuttling, water and snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and insurance.

Trip information is subject to change.
